See how dem form agreement to divert their resources, small time some flat head will come on NL and shout aboki de tiff dem money from Abuja. Mmttccchheeeeww!

Choi! Niger Deltans make una de deceived una selves with resource control, see how una Ogas at the de help control una so called resource into their bank accounts.
Dem go de control am even better when de country divide, na so dem bank balance go de swell up like Dokubo's fat cheeks.
Pls ask una self how much of dis money de reach your state or even village, wetin dem de do with una 13% derivation sef, how much of it has impacted on your lives?
Your problem is not Nigeria but your corrupt leaders who keep deceiving you and pointing the finger of blame at others, in order to deflect away the crimes they are committing against you from themselves - the politics of ethnicity is really paying them good dividends, thats why they love it.
Careful what you are asking for.

Kponkwem: The President is being rumoured to be under pressure to sack the current minister. But the fact that the minister is believed to be one of the President's strongest supporters and mobilisers and one of the best performing cabinet members, leaves the President in dilemma.

Wow! if she is one his best performing bed ministers then I wonder what to call his cabinet - definitely not kitchen but more like PIDGEON CABINET. SMH

^^^^ YES

telim: Dr abalaka used these drug to cure hiv. Although the drug was not sucessful in all cases and abalaka also lack theoretical explanations for the drugs.

Dr Abalaka did not agree to let his alleged findings be scrutinized under standard scientific methods of verification; instead he chose to cloud his findings in secrecy under the guise of protecting his discovery; though he had the option of patenting but chose otherwise and faded away rather quietly.
IMO, he was a fraud and exploited gullible Nigerians through aggressive marketing while it lasted.

emmanuel4fire: The suggestions as quoted may be right, but I think their discovery should embrace more on it's systemic formulation such intradermal, intravenous, intramuscular and possible oral formulation. More studies should be done to isolate a compound with a closer chemical structure and/mechanism of action. The prophylatic prediction of the aforementioned drug on trial will be of more value once it's systemic trials proofs successful. I believe H.I.V. will soon be a thing of the past just like malaria. See where our government suppose make money. Oh! Africa.

Of course thats the way forward; but for now since the drug is already available as a topical application its immediate potential utility as an anti HIV agent is as a PEP, without the need for all the long processes of preclinical and straight to human trials. Your suggestion for exploring other routes of administration is on point and I agree thats where it will make its greatest impact - the potential is there and quite plausible and very promising indeed.

BluIvy: Lol! People do not even read at all but are in chase to sound bright. Did you even try to read what he wrote, at all? Or you just cought the last paragraph?

Feel free to point out my folly, after all nobody here is claiming monopoly of knowledge, pls indulge me a little.

Good, let them see who de steal their money, and how they will still inherit the same looters as leaders with or without resource control; whether Nigeria disintegrates or not, nothing will change for the common man - those agitating are only being controlled used by their handlers.

What I like to know is why is he still holding a Nigerian passport and why is his other university in Abuja, like majority of his other investments not in the ND region - abi doesn't he believe in the future of that region?

On the other hand he succeeded in blowing open fowl nyash on those lootocrats, Oga Johnny and Co, evidently poised to foster themselves on the leadership and resources of that region if and when it breaks away.

Anyway, God help the poor ND masses; imagine clueless Odechukwu, Tompolo and the likes of Dokubo positioning to be their future leaders - though I can also imagine Dokubo being exiled in course of events for being a Muslim, no wonder he feels safer to invest in Benin republic.

nagoma: Thanks for the explanation. I suppose cyclopirox cannot be used as a microbicide for Pre-exposure prophylaxis or even in post exposure prophylaxis since it's mechanism of action is necessarily intracellur - blocking viral gene expression and inhibition of mitochondrial function in an infected cell? Which means , for it to be useful we must wait for the approval for systemic application.

The article suggested it has potential for use as pre -exposure prophylaxis, where it said: " The utility of Ciclopirox in patients with HIV, for instance after topical application to reduce intimate transmission of the virus, awaits verification in future clinical trials"

lertee: I believe adequate money is being shared to the states and local govts,yes they are close to the masses but do they care about the masses?

Exactly, and thats how it will continue even if states are given resource control, provided the leaders are the same nothing will ever change.
Corruption is the common and central problem affecting all Nigerians, the ongoing agitation is driven by greed and in-fighting between the leadership on how to share the loot between themselves, the masses are mere pawns in this game, being used as leverage for more of the share.

How can they convict any thief in Nigeria when the biggest of them all is the one running the country, they are all in the same business of lootocracy; anyway even if convicted he will just pardon them.
Nigeria is now turning to a crook's paradise where executive thieving is done with blatant impunity; and worst still some neanderthals are hailing its actors on the basis of myopic ethnocentric sentiments - even more insulting is the fact that these adulators consider themselves advanced and forward thinking.SMH

The agitators who made this their bed should now lay in it and keep quiet - na over wayo greed go kill them.

cheleku: It's no bogus research.....The mitochondria here are those of the host cell. Ideally, the mitochondria helps infected cell to auto-destroy themselves by a mechanism called apoptosis. But in HIV infected cells, this ability is impaired hence allowing infected cells to keep on living and multiplying.

Sorry, the infected cells do not keep living and multiplying, check the word suicide in the article, its the clue.

nagoma: Where did you get that fallacious statement from? " that any antibiotic is anti-fungal and antiviral"? Please stick to what you do best- licking Jona's arrse.

Abeg, take it easy on him, not everybody went to school and remembered everything; though in this case he seemed to have strayed well beyond his level.
Let me tell him: an antibiotic is a drug in general terms that specifically acts against bacteria, with few exceptions.

linearity: If you carefully retread the article, you will notice that it never stated that the drug attack the HIV cells themselves neither did it say that the drug kills the HIV cells...

The drug simply attacks and destroy the[b] host cell aka mitochondria[/b] to which the parasite HIV attaches itself to, once the host cell is destroyed, the HIV cells will die naturally and be eliminated just like what happen in any parasite relationship, when the underlying host is gone!

A little bit of correction, the host cell is not the mitochondria, however, the latter is simply one of the organelles within the cell forming part of the resources which the virus taps into, in this case the mitochondria being the respiratory powerhouse taken over by the virus to provide it with its energy requirement and which the drug blocks from performing.

millenni: finally

Nothing yet final at this stage, so don't throw away your condoms just yet; though this one seems quite promising.

Corruption, corruption and more corruption; thats whats what GEJ and his fresh air is feeding Nigerians - yet many are apparently saying they want more - thats if you believe their propaganda.

^^^^Yep exactly, they have agreed that their presidential candidate should be zoned from the north, thats why they are shopping for a northerner.
Kwankwaso is a good candidate, a fearless no nonsense action man, that can deliver. You should come to Kano and see the wonders this guy is performing - exactly the king of man Nigeria needs at this point in time to stop the rot.

INNO18: You're obviously a neophyte in issues of Northern affair. It's only in the south there's such thing as 'Efik,Ibibio,Igbo,Yoruba,ijaw' and the likes, Northerners see themselves as one and the adhesive responsible for this is Islam, A Fulani man doesnt see himself as being any different from A gwari man or kanuri man, infact they are all trying to collapse their individual language(s) and adopt the hausa as the only language. So until we in the South stop trying pull ourselves down, the north will still have an upperhand in how the affairs of this country is run!

How can a southerner know more about northern affairs than a northerner?
It is really irksome when southerners like you display their typical arrogance and Odechukwuism of PhD without intelligence.
So, in your infantile brain you really believe all northerners are Muslims and see themselves as one, irrespective of their tribe.
Typical empty barrel making the loudest noise - and you even have the audacity to call somebody a neophyte, bet you can't locate that word in the dictionary even if you tried, you worwor like shi8t.

^^^^ Abeg go siddon, which one be presidency na Hausa Fulani property: Gowan (Angas), Babangida (Gwari), Abacha (Shuwa) & Abdulsalam Abubakar (Nupe or Gwari) na Hausa or na Fulani, in fact 3 out of the 4 no be middle belt dem be?

atlwireles: Jonah will not send any bill anywhere. We don't need any bill to control our resource. We are already exporting, almost 600,000 barrels per day. When more capacity is added, we will export more. Just ask your states how many trillions they are no more getting. Just sit and watch. Your cowardly infested DNA will learn a lesson for ages to come

Yep, true true the smart ones are stealing the oil and using the proceeds to buy themselves ships and build universities in Abuja and Benin Republic at the expense of their region, like Madam Umblera, Dokubo & Co; while the fools among them troop to NL to defend these kleptomaniacs, not minding that they are actually partly responsible for their much publicized woes and the decimation of the region.
Abeg, tell us how much of these trillions dem de steal (or even 13% derivation) de reach you and your village, how much of it is being reinvested in your state for the common good of your ppl, or how many times Tompolo de give una lift for im personal aircraft wey him de park for Abuja airport?
Continue dey shout resource control, resource control when de ppl wey de really chop your resource (your governors, ex militants & Co) dey your front, continue de deceive yourself - of course dem talk say ignorance na disease.

^^^^ No confusion, after all northern delegates like their counterparts from all over the federation are also ready to be housed, fed in expensive hotels and be paid huge allowances for taking part in this diversionary fruitless exercise that has no legal backing; unless of course its decisions are ratified by the NASS - and we all know the likely outcome.
So let the delegates go and enjoy, abeg who no want awoof.

IfeomaVanessa: All the people insulting the president here will lie down & lick his shoes if they ever meet him. Oya face me now

If that were true then ppl like you would probably be among the first that would get down on their knees to suck his clueless shrivelled joystick. Oya face your front

homesteady: Should we call this Humility?

Lailai, just blatant indolence, characteristic shirking of responsibility, in his clueless misgovernance.
The man is simply trying to distance himself from the armed forces so as to absolve himself from blame for failing to order the arrest of the Boko Haram sponsors he said he knew were in his government along with those his paid cyber goons have been libellously freely identifying all over the net.

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]Ibos lack tact to act responsibly and act maturedly in positions of power. In a sensitive position needing coalition and compromise to move ahead and add to the building-block , they soon exhibit their lack of vision and penchant for rebellion.........making enemies instead of winning friends!

Odimegwu will not be Ibo if he didnt turn people off with his authority as headman of the commission.

Yeye dey smell for SE![/quote]You hit the nail on the head, too much arrogance and over sabi dey worry dem when dem get position, a 1000 likes jare!

If true, then they get my respect and shame on the superpowers for their double standards.

chidindufrank: Your madness has crossed the red line. Read the post you quoted otondo

Your post still remains no less than what is was; abject bigotry - go figure

You are a dimwit for that statement, tell me what are southerners producing that northerners are parasitizing on? Tell me how many southerners are actually involved in the production of this so called oil - deposited beneath the soil through an act of God in southern regions, yes how are southerners responsible for the presence of this oil, did they plant it there?

The problem with southerners is their greed, sheer unbridled greed and selfishness; and it is what will consume them in the end.

True, the vast majority of Nigeria's oil is found in the SE, well just watch how they'll implode through in-fighting because of greed for the same oil, resource control would reach a new dimension - up to village level.
The Ogonis would want to be on their own and not be dominated by the Ijaws (Jonathan & co, who are bringing this issue up just to cling to power), militancy and bunkering would be the order of the day, their leaders would be half baked fools like Dokubo, Tompolo etc who have amassed enough wealth to run their own private militias to rule by force or continue bunkering, ordinary citizens would still not be better off.
Same scenario would also afflict the SS who would not only be in-fighting but also having their eyes on their neighbours vast superior oil wealth.

BTW, the north already has oil, but for now would fight bitterly to preserve one Nigeria until all the awoof southern oil is finished; then north would be ready to separate in order to develop its own oil for itself.

^^^^^Don' mind him, The OP is simply another retardeen no doubt schooled by Oga at the top himself.

@Topic: See mumuism at its best, accordingly (by your logic) so the current govt shutdown in America must be due to the country being landlocked.
What drives a country's economy is not necessarily its foreign exchange earnings but its GDP, pls check Nigeria's GDP breakdown from the National Bureau of Statistics and note that oil does not even come second let alone first in contributing to the GDP; agriculture had been and still is the number one earner.
As for foreign exchange when the the country divides, no need to guess what will be our number exchange earner when you lot start clamoring to food from the new north.

Ahmadu Bello University, the first northern university was built in the sixties without oil money - get your facts right.

If you were to refer to history, you would note that the natural path for any nation to progress towards industrialization is usually after self sufficiency in Agriculture.

BTW, oil has already been found in the north (in Niger, Sokoto and Borno States); but for the time being (simply to annoy you ppl) the north will fight bitterly for one Nigeria, until when the (awoof) oil in the south is finished, only then will north be ready to divide and go and develop its own oil for itself - very clever, don't you think?

chidindufrank: Congras malam sanusi. While u bagged d award ur slave bagged this too. https://www.nairaland.com/1476545/efcc-arrests-fake-police-commissioner

Your bigotry has no end, he will soon be leaving the office when the ovation is at its loudest; bagging three international awards in four years is no mean feat. Hate him as much as you like, still you cannot take away from his success; meanwhile feel free to choke on your hatred and jealousy, for Sanusi has long since made it while you have not.
